[QUOTE="DrWazzock, post: 7549246, member: 2119"] In my view our suppliers build in unnecessary cost and liabilities at every opportunity. Try buying a new 150 hp tractor that just has the basics I need it to do the job and is easy to maintain. Same with 24 m sprayers and spreaders. Loaded with expensive electronic bells and whistles, stylised tank shapes that make generic spares impossible and that will probably render the machine unusable and obsolete long before its mechanically worn out. Machinery designers just can't seem to do enough to add cost but you won't find an all stainless steel spreader anywhere because it would never wear out. [/QUOTE]
